DUBLIN, Sept. Ito 'Brien was arrested
to-day while seeing Labouchere off on the
steamer. A despatch from Mitchellstown
says: The town is quiet. the victims of
the fight Friday will be given public
funeral Monday and it will be the occasion
OF great demonstration. The man Shin
nick and the boy Casey are dying from
the wounds received Friday. Casey's an
te mortem deposition states he was stand
ing near Shinnick at the corner OF the
square when head constable O'Sullivan
came to the window of the barracks and
fired at him. Four witnesses confirm the
statement. The nationalists say they
have evidence to establish the identity OF
the policeman who shot Riordan.
Contngents of nationalists from all the
surrounding towns promise to attend the
funer1ls tomorrow and the procession
will be enormous The police refuse to
allow the cortege to traverse the regular
route to the cemetery which passes the
barracks. The natonalists consider this
a great indignity, as they will be com
PEELED to 20 through the Protestant part
of the town. They claim they have a
right to take the usual route, promising
to resort to no violence.

MatrimOny a Science.
Toronto Week.

We had heard of the English Matrimo-
NAL News, but we never before happened
to see it. When seen, it beggars all de-
scription and defes caricature. Here are
twenty-five long and closely set columns
full eff advertisements for husbands or
wives. The advertisers state precisely
what they want, and at the same time ac
curately appraise themselves. Bachelor
age 36, good looking, good appearance,
very affectionate, steady, salary about
$50 year, wishes to marry a lady, me-
dun height, rather short than otherwise
small hands and feet, loving nature, good
temper, good looking or with well formed
features domesticated, with means, age
from Is to 30.n "A man wants a woman
for his wife whe has or will have her first
given name only as Jane, and has good
health, with all her natural and sound
teeth included The ladies are equally
precise. San attractive, handsome, young
looking widow lady would like TO meet
with an honorable, gentiemanly man of
high social position seeking a wife with
refined, pleasing manners, religious prin
ciples and unusually cultivated mind.
Clara is musical, fond of intellectual pur-
suits, fully capable of being mistress of
good establishment, etc" The fortunes
of some of the advertisers are surprising,
If the statements are genuine. One has
$1,000, another has $4,000 year. One
lady has f250,000. Imagination fails to
paint the hideousness OF disagreeableness,
of whatever kind it may be which com
pels lady with e250,000 to advertise in
the newspapers for husband One lady
of large property wants nobleman, and
she need not altogether despair of getting
him. There is no reason that we can see
why marriages made in this business like
way should not be happy. They cannot
be so happy as genuine love marriages,
but they may be happier than marriages
of mere impulse.

Fuliillment Ola Prophecy.
Pail Mall Gazette

Ut Is interesting TO notice that a Sc
quel to the poet laureate's "Locksley
Hall was foretold more THAN twenty
years ago by an enthusiastic student Of
the Tennysonian philosophy. The fol-
lowing passage from A. a. Japp's "Three
Great Teachers of Our Own Age" pub
lished in 1865, refers to the disappointed
hero of the earliest 'Locksley Hall'': "Up.
on his scathed heart dawns the glory of a
great moral truth that, though the indi-
yidual withers under limitation and
wrong, the world still progresses.
Inc poet has here carried the poem
TO the strict limit of his experience at the
time 1t was written. II closes but does
not cease. 1t abounds with suggestions
as to higher result in prospect 1t
points to region of lofty possibility.
If the poet ever again wrote on kim
dred theme IL would test at once his in
sight and fuller experience whether h q
would conduct his hero to q more worthy
goal" The recent publication of "Lock-
sley Hall; Sixty Years After" has thus
afforded striking instance of the full
fllment of ssliterary prophecy; but we
are inclined to doubt if the poets entry
into this region of lofty possibility
can have given much satisfaction to his
admirers of twenty Yeas ago, or if they
would still venture TO class him among
the great teachers of our age"

HEALTH IN EXERCISE.
1t is Subject All People Would do Well to

study
Halls Journal OF Heath
Proper and appropriate exercise is es-
sential to health. There can be no healthy
development without it. No subject is so
much talked abou. and so little under
stood by most persons. Every one can
discuss glibly on the subject, and in a
general way prescribe it for every all
ment. Twenty years ago the hobby was
cold water bathing; ten year later warm
water was substituted for colo; then the
gymnasium, with its dumbel,s and "lift-
ing" machines-'health lifts;' as they
we're called, and | think very properly,
because no devise, save dumbells, could
lift mans health and carry it away
more effectually.
The gymnasium would be more yalua-
able institution if all who go there to e1-
ercise would limit their gyrations and
contortions within reasonable bounds.
But there is always more or less rivalry
in the performance of difficult feats,
and the actors are often goaded beyond
the point of safety. 1t is perhaps, bet
ter to take no exercise than to carry the
thing to excess, but it should be an easy
matter to regulate the amount to the re-
quirement of the individual. If this is
done its effects ara marvellous. A few
simple rules are sufficient. Never exer
else to the extent Of great fatigue. Stop
short OF that, and you are always gain
ing streangth; go beyond that, and you
lose strength in proportion. The best
e1ersice is horseback riding, because 1t
keeps all the muscles in motion, involun-
tarily: the horse lends you his muscles.
Walking is tbs next best method; all tho
muscles are brought into use, but requires
al effort Of the viii to maintain that
motion, and this detracts from its value.
Every one has noticed how much more q
sprainsd wrist, for example, is relieved
when it is rubbed briskly by another ersoa
than when rubbed by the other hand of

ing in passivity. Il il said that lazy peo-
pie live the longest and that may be the
reason.
